At Carmela Foods, our goal is simple: deliver excellence with every cut. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce two new premium meat partners to our portfolio — Certified Piedmontese and Whittingham Meats — both recognized for exceptional quality, consistency, and flavor.
“We’re proud to bring both Whittingham and Piedmontese into the Carmela Foods family,” says Tony Tocco, owner/founder of Carmela Foods. “Whittingham delivers old-school butcher craftsmanship with the precision our chef-driven customers demand, while Piedmontese brings the kind of innovation, quality, and flavor that align perfectly with where the culinary world is headed.”
Certified Piedmontese: Lean, Tender, Legendary
Certified Piedmontese beef is unlike anything else in the industry. Sourced from a rare Italian breed raised responsibly in the American Midwest, this beef delivers steakhouse-level tenderness with a fraction of the fat and calories of conventional beef. The naturally lean genetics mean no added growth hormones and fewer saturated fats — making it a top choice for chefs, dietitians, and health-conscious diners alike.
